16 year old Annam Olasewere of Chelsea Piers Aquatic Club swam the seventh fastest 15-16 girls LCM 50 freestyle ever on the final night of competition in Indianapolis as she swam a 25.08.
Olasewere came into the meet with a personal best of a 25.29 which she swam back in April at Pro Swim-Westmont. Prior to this season, her best time was a 25.44 which she swam to win the Summer NCSA title last August in Indianapolis.
All-Time Top 15-16 Girls LCM 50 Freestyle
- Claire Curzan 24.17, 2021
- Gretchen Walsh 24.71, 2019
- Simone Manuel 24.80, 2013
- Anya Goeders 24.85, 2016
- Anna Moesch 24.92, 2022
- Marta Ciesla 25.07, 2015
- Annam Olasewere 25.08, 2023
Prior to last night, Olasewere was tied for the 14th fastest swimmer in the event in the age group ever. Her swim Saturday night won the ‘C’ final.
Olasewere still has time to move up in the rankings as her 16th birthday occurred this week during the meet. This means she has through the end of the summer as well as the beginning of the long course season next year to move up.
Earlier in the week in Indianapolis, Olasewere swam a personal best of a 55.74 in the ‘D’ final of the 100 free. Her previous best was a 56.11.
Both she and her twin Ayaan, are a joy to coach. Great coordination between the HS and club programs.
That 24.1 from Curzan is scary fast, even though it remains somewhat suspect since she really never came close to that before or after.
If there’s video should be able to tell if it was somewhere in that vicinity.
Annam is a wonderful young lady with a very bright future ahead of her. She also has a twin sister, Ayaan, who is a very strong swimmer, too! Best wishes to both gals and congrats to the whole Olasawere family. 🙂
Actually she will still be 16 at Olympic Trials next year!
She was on 🔥 this week. Great future
